Adding a duplicate attribute value should cause an error.
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIREVE-268
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-268
Project: Directory Server
Type: Bug
Versions: 0.9.3
Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
Assigned to: Alex Karasulu
Priority: Minor
Adding a duplicate attribute value to an entry with a single modify operation
results in an invalid entry. After the operation it contains the parameter
value twice. Hence someone is able to change this entry
dn: cn=Heather Nova,ou=system
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
cn: Heather Nova
sn: Nova
into an entry which looks like this:
dn: cn=Heather Nova,ou=system
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
cn: Heather Nova
sn: Nova
Expected behavior is LDAP Error code: 20 (Indicates that the attribute value
specified in a modify or add operation already exists as a value for that
attribute). This is quite similar to DIREVE-241 ("Adding an already existing
attribute value with a modify operation does not cause an error."). But in this
case, the attribute value is not present before, but is created with a single
modify operation with two add changes. OK, it is a little bit bizarre, but
other LDAP servers successfully refuse such an operation.
Find attached a test case with two tests, one for an already existing attribute
type, and one for a new type (the issue arises in both occasions).
